Umayyad caliphate conquer the Visigoth Kingdom of Toledo


The conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the muslims took place in the year 711 and finish in the year 788.

In 711, a raiding force from North Africa approximately 1,700-strong led by Tariq Ibn Ziyad, landed south of present-day Spain.
They defeated the Visigothic army, led by King Rodrigo, in a decisive battle at Guadalete in 712. Tariq's forces were then reinforced by those of his superior, the wali Musa Ibn Musair, and both took control of most of Iberia with an army estimated at approximately 10,000–15,000 combatants.
In 714, Musa Ibn Musair headed north-west up the Ebro river to overrun western Basque regions and the Cantabrian mountains all the way to Gallaecia, with no relevant or attested opposition. During the period of the second Arab governorAbd Al-Aziz Musa (714–716) the principal urban centres of Catalonia surrendered. In 714, his father Musa ibn Nusair advanced and overrun Soria, western Basque regions, Palencia and Asturias all the way to the coastal town of Gijón, where a Berber governor was appointed (or possibly in León) with no relevant or attested opposition. The northern areas of Iberia drew little attention to the conquerors and were hard to defend when taken. The high western and central sub-Pyrenean valleys remained unconquered.

Interview


Hello, my name is Ivan and I´m going to interview sir Tariq Ibn Ziyad:

-Tariq, how did you feel before Guadalette battle?
-Well, you know, at the beginnig of every battle, even the most expert one feel nervous, but, as I was the
leader I´ve got the responsability of making my soldiers feel brave, so I can´t be nervous at all.

-And what about the middle of the battle?
-In that moment, I try not to saw my fear but I was really frightened cause that was not like movies in which
everyone is fighting bravely but at the contrary.

-Did you lost someone on the battle?
-Obiously yes, but they were not important battles. The really important battles, like the one in Guadalete,
were the ones we won.

-How did you encourage your soldiers at battle?
-What i did? well, i help my men shouting to the enemy and being in the first line so that they see that i´m not
a coward and I fight with them

-Ok, thank you.
